All you can catch Maine lobster

June 19th, 2008

This is genius. Two brothers in Maine have established a business called “Catch a Piece of Maine” which allows people to become a partner and receive all the lobsters caught in a lobster trap in one year – all for the mere cost of $2,995.

These partners can also check out how their lobster trap is performing throughout the year by checking in online.

They even tout how it supports local fishermen:

Catch a Piece of Maine’s community supported fishery model directly supports lobsterman and the working waterfront of Maine. Your support allows lobstermen to receive a premium for their product at a time when external economic factors make it hard to make a living from the sea.

    Pip- did you really mean $2,9995? I have to tell you

    that sometime in the mid-60’s my family drove from

    Schenectady NY to Meat Cove,Nova Scotia to visit my

    cousin and her husband who taught in that little village. All the men there were fishermen and one night

    for dinner we had about 40 small lobsters. The villagers

    were descendants of Scottish clans and occasionally would burn each other’s houses/shacks down. They also liked moonshine and apparently my father felt he had

    to hide his bottle of gourmet wine in the trunk. We left

    early though due to lots of bees and heat…

    woops! you’re right – i meant $2,995.

    holy cow, your story about that area is fantastic! scotland is one of my favorite places and i took a tour one time i was there and their history is plump-full of clan attacks!

    and of course the moonshine part of this story is priceless. thanks for sharing :)

    perhaps there is a connection between the alcohol and

    the fighting…glad you liked my story. Same trip my

    father went on a deep sea fishing boat and caught a

    salmon. We stopped at a restaurant along the road,

    Chinese I guess, because, my father told them to have

    the chef do something good with the salmon, and they

    served it to us with black bean sauce, our first ever,

    and my parents then learned to make it at home. I had

    some adventurous foodie parents!
